People in certain council tax bands could save hundreds a year on energy bills by using a government scheme. The Great British Insulation Scheme could save low-income households up to £400 annually on fuel bills through new energy efficiency upgrades.

It was introduced by the previous Tory government - but is still going. And the energy-saving scheme could help thousands of households cut their energy bills over the next year.

These bills rose by 10 per cent at the start of October due to Ofgem's price cap rise. Industry experts predict another increase in January.

Yet people in lower council tax bands with less energy-efficient homes could be entitled to crucial upgrades - such as roof, loft or cavity wall insulation.
